a wonderful Coincidence.

Captain Wynn, who commanded the
Sumter Light Guards, was killed at the
battle of Gettysburg. One morning, says
the AmerIcus, Ga, Recorder, the one after
that battle, his wife, who lived in this place,
entered her parlor, where upon the wall had
hung handsome painting Of her husband.
As she glanced up she was horror-strlcken
on seeing that the painting had fallen from
the wall, and, In doing so, the face had
been pierced by chair post, which stood
beneath where 1t had hung. Rushing from
the house, she went at once to a neighbor
and related the occurrence, adding that she
firmly believed the Captain had been killed
in the light Of the day previous. Ga the
arrival Of the train news OF the battle was
brought, and among the first names in the
list Of tLose Killed was that Of her gallant
husband. TIE stTauVest feature about tue

Among the leading newspapers

orally incline to the advisability of an
extra session of Congress. Says the

most reliable opponents Of Democratic

The troublesome surplus. which Is aceum1.

anxiety for an eXtr. session Of Congress, TO

exhaustive drain upon the pockets o. the poo

to cont.nge, 1t Will be oaly mere question Of
time when thu Goyusnu'Lt cuucrs will not DO
able TO hold the enormous accumulation, and
there will not he money enough eft among
the people with which TO transact their 0rl,-
